Last year, I did a horrible thing.

I was new to a certain congressional campaign. This person befriended me and gained my trust, and that trust does not come easily...especially with men.

He informed me that he had a crazy stalker. He& #39;d never done anything to

lead her on. That he had, on several occasions, to remind her he was a happily married man and tried to let her down easy.

She wouldn& #39;t take no for an answer, so he had to block her. He wanted to warn me in case she tried reaching out to any of us.

I believed him.

He came to me again in a panic saying she was trying to spread rumors. Saying he had slept with her, and she might be pregnant and he abandoned her.

She was crazy, because I believed him.

I believed he was a decent guy. He always gave me pointers on who I should avoid...

even members of the campaign.

"She& #39;s has a little crush on me, but she& #39;s a good kid," he said about one girl that I should avoid a bit.

I believed him.

Needless to say, several of us defended him from the crazy girl.
We got pretty mean.

I own my part in that.

I never believed he had any blame there. Not for one second.

The girl blocked me, for good reason. I deserved it.

I am still blocked.

If by some chance you ever see this;

Bella, I am so sorry. I never thought in a million years he was capable of this... until I did.
